Recently, I’ve been using linux(tried multiple distros). I’m curious about how linux works, it’s architecture! Is there a book, guide, video, etc to learn about linux? By using linux, I get to know something. It would be better If I know how linux works!

    What I did back in the day when I started Unix was mostly explore.

    I looked at what was in /bin and read their manpages, or just browsed manpages to see what did what (your desktop manager will probably have a help browser nowadays that makes this much easier, in KDE it’s the Help Center), and generally experimented with stuff.

    Poking at things to see what they do is probably the best way, especially on a system that’s not production. Also there will be a lot of reading involved, although it will mostly be to get a feel of things, as in the end, you’ll essentially have to be proficient in finding information rather than memorising it for the most part.

    And don’t get too hung up on the whole distribution thing, in the end they all install the same stuff anyway.

      Wow, I’ve planned to learn linux by exploring and doing. Any suggestions on exploration?
